If you’re craving a luxe off-the-grid experience a short drive from Lisbon, you must take a beautiful road trip to Comporta. The Comporta region is renowned for its wild and unspoilt natural landscape, peaceful atmosphere and charming traditional villages.
The magnificent beaches of Comporta span over 60 km of untouched coastline. Here, you’ll find fine white sand that contrasts with the deep blue of the ocean and the dunes covered with vegetation.

Take a journey to Sublime Comporta which is an eco-villa and spa to call home in Portugal, when I landed at Sublime Comporta, their stunning 17-hectare estate, surrounded by undulating umbrella pines & cork trees, sand dunes, vineyards, rice fields and over 60km of pristine, white- sand beaches, took my breath away.
Here, the magnificence of nature unites with the elegance of contemporary architecture – all sustainable – in harmony with respect for nature and our precious ecosystem.
What I loved most is that Sublime Comporta preserves all that is still authentic and genuine in Portugal – living with the locals and feeling the rhythm of “slow living.” It’s simply that, sublime.
Just one hour from Lisbon, the perfect fusion between the beauty of natural surroundings + the simplicity of its architecture, Sublime Comporta truly pays homage to the best of Portugal.

Here, the Portuguese history is preserved in a beautiful modern way. This year, Sublime Comporta inaugurated a new, surprising accommodation – the Bio Pool Suites Built on stilts, these were inspired by the artisanal fishing port of Carrasqueira developed by local fishermen.
They are located on an impressive biological swimming pool (one of Europe’s largest) and have a private terrace from which you can dive.

Each eco luxe villa has its own decoration, paying tribute to Comporta’s traditional decorative techniques. They were built respecting local architectural and landscape heritage and using only native materials.
The construction of the biological pool further emphasises Sublime’s sustainable attitude, since water is treated through aquatic plants only, and no chemicals are used. It is a true living ecosystem.

Sublime’s organic restaurant is another of my most memorable experiences here. The ingredients in each beautiful, artistic meal have been sourced directly from the organic garden surrounding the space and Fire plays a leading role, too.
Set in the middle of an organic garden is the Food Circle. This is a dynamic space, based on sustainable production + inspired by the principles of permaculture.
Perhaps my favorite element of Sublime is the Spa, where I spent hours in the sauna, steam bath, heated indoor pool and fully equipped gym.

In harmony with the sustainable ethos of Sublime, the Sublime Spa has chosen to work with renowned Spa brand “Amala Organic Skincare” – one of the most efficient organic and sustainable cosmetic brands in the world.

All products are organic thereby contributing to our health and to the environment. Therapists work with locally sourced ingredients, local rice and sea salt, freshly harvested whole plants, sustainably cultivated and grown in our own organic garden, certified organic pure essential and vegetable oils.
Because everything has been thought of, you can start your day taking care of your mind and body, enjoying a massage or private yoga session surrounded by nature in the hotel’s unique outdoor Yoga pavilion or playing tennis on the property.

There is so much to explore on site, though Comporta is magical and it really is such a special place to discover.
Activities in the surrounding areas include horse-back riding on the sand dunes, rice fields and beaches of Comporta, picnics on a deserted beach or on a private lagoon, excursions to one of Europe’s unique artisanal fishing ports where you can go out with a local fisherman.
Wine tasting in that which is considered one of the “World’s Best Wine destinations”, excursions to discover Portugal’s only resident dolphin community or if you choose you can just relax and read a book enjoying the slow rhythm of Comporta.
